A 65-year-old woman died after falling off an e-bike into a creek while on a ride with her husband, Colorado sheriff’s officials reported.
The woman was reported to be floating face down in Boulder Creek at 4:22 p.m. Friday, May 31, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
Rescuers pulled the woman from the creek in Boulder Canyon and tried to revive her, but she died after being taken to a hospital, deputies said.
She and her husband were riding e-bikes on the bicycle trail along the creek when she fell off her bike into the creek near Boulder Canyon and Four Mile Canyon, deputies said.
Deputies, police, firefighters and rangers responded to the accident.
“This incident highlights the importance of safety while recreating in Boulder County, especially near water sources that may appear deceptively calm but can be hazardous,” the sheriff’s office said in the release.
Boulder is about a 30-mile drive northwest from Denver.
